With apologies to Joe Locke’s Wiccan in Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, and maybe even Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth as well, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is arguably the most significant superhero joining the MCU in 2024. Sorry, Wade Wilson, but Logan just has an even bigger impact on the Marvel universe than you. It’s not for nothing that Jackman basically carried Fox’s entire X-Men saga on his back for almost 20 years, with only Reynolds’ DP coming close to him. So naturally the union of these two icons in Deadpool &…

Now, we have Mysterium, which is what Iron Man's newest suit is constructed of. The metal comes from the White Hot Room, the home of the Phoenix, where mutants took refuge following the fall of Krakoa. In "The Invincible Iron Man" #15, Iron Man and Emma Frost find themselves taking on a reconstructed corpse of Wolverine that the villain Feilong turned into his own weapon. After it bloodies Tony Stark by slashing him with its Adamantium claws and figures out how to de-power Frost's diamond form in order to…

Collisions of heavy ions generate an immensely strong electromagnetic field. Scientists investigate traces of this powerful electromagnetic field in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state where quarks and gluons are liberated from the colliding protons and neutrons.

There are places in the Universe where matter becomes so wildly distorted that magnetism grows into an unimaginable force. Known as magnetars, the gravitationally compacted cores of these highly dynamic neutron stars concentrate magnetic fields to a strength of around 100 trillion gauss.Yet there could be zones here on Earth where tiny pockets of magnetism flicker with strengths that far exceed even these cosmic monstrosities.An analysis of particle interactions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the US…

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare – as seen in the bright flash in the upper left of the Sun – on February 22, 2024. The image shows a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares and which is colorized in bronze. Credit: NASA/SDOOn February 22, 2024, the Sun emitted an extremely strong solar flare. It reached its peak at 5:34 p.m. EST. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly, captured an image of the event.This…

The current solar cycle is expected to peak this year, according to scientists. Consequently, we've seen an increase in the number as well as the intensity of solar phenomena such as solar flares, solar storms, CMEs and more. In a new incident, the Sun has hurled out as many as three solar flares towards Earth, and one of them is the strongest solar flare of the solar cycle 25! This poses a potential solar storm danger. Know details.Solar storm dangerAccording to NASA, the Sun spewed out two solar flares just 7 hours…

In three weeks’ time, the credits will roll on the best cinema season in recent memory. Ten films are up for the best picture Oscar on 10 March and not a dud among them. That is unusual. Usually you will find an Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close in there somewhere. Or maybe more than one (Babel, The Blind Side), or even a trio (Crash, Les Miserables, Bohemian Rhapsody). Often, it’s hard to get jazzed by the awards race; sometimes it’s tricky to feel strongly about any of the big contenders.This year is different. Not…

With the power of a million exploding suns and more god-like abilities than practically any Marvel hero, the Sentry's powers are largely unrivaled. Unfortunately for the world and universe, the incredible powers of the Avengers' Golden Guardian come with an evil opposite named the Void, an entity that represents the hero's darkest side. Debuting in "Sentry' #1 (by Paul Jenkins, Jae Lee, Jose Villarrubia, Richard Starkings, and Wes Abbott), the Void is a being the Sentry (and the rest of the Avengers) have…

Slowly and steadily, solar activity has been on the rise after a brief lull. In the last few months, we've witnessed a growing number of solar flares, and solar storms, all of which have been linked to the current solar cycle. For the unaware, the solar cycle is an 11-year period during which the Sun's activity crests and troughs. According to scientists, the solar cycle 25 will enter the peak of solar maximum in mid-2024, and it has already exceeded the predicted number of sunspots. However, the solar activity isn't…
